Canadian Army OverviewMission:

The Canadian Army will posture for concurrent operations by generating combat effective, multi-purpose land forces

to meet Canada’s defence objectives.Vision:

The Canadian Army - as part of the CAF - is a soldier-centric, professional and integrated force achieving operational excellence at home and abroad.

While working alongside “Whole of Government” Colleagues, key allies and partners, the Canadian Army will be a scalable, agile, and responsive force that operates among

populations to deliver decisive land power in the achievement of Canadian defence objectives.

Mantra:

Investing in the Canadian Army (CA)14 SSE Initiatives tied to CA equipment projects28 fully funded projects under SSE banner

$8.8B for the Canadian Army over 20 years for 28 new equipment projects

66% of projects to spend capital funds within 2 to 3 year timeframeInitiatives to streamline capital acquisition process and to fill and augment staffing requirementsAdditional allocation of $ for minor capital equipment program$ allocation for innovation (IDEaS)

Close EngagementA conventional, combat effective, multi-purpose, medium force augmented by light and heavy forces, with evolutionary enhancements in:Connectivity.

Robust networked capabilities: command and control, intelligence, fires and sustainmentMore intuitive applications

Agility.Improved decision support toolsModularity on the move

Flexibility.More versatile peopleAdaptable equipment and organizationsGreater resilience

IntegrationEngagement skills enable interoperability and comprehensive approach

Robustness.Reinvest in major combat operations (warfare) capabilities

Minor Capital Funding – V5Affords the ability for agile procurement to allow the CA to implement change

Mandated recapitalization of light-duty vehicles and CA IT EquipmentMinor Equipment procurement enables SSE initiatives to be realised Equipment to bridge short term capability gaps, “buy and try” new capabilities, deliver capability where quantities required are <$10M totalProvides flexibility for CA priorities

Recent approx $50-60M/year deliveriesDemand exceeds capacity to deliver, both DND and industry capacity
